Yes ...leave it as it is Leigh ,It,s brilliant , I think it shows you at your lowest , now the only way is UP ... Leave it behind , start on some of the good projects you have lined up .. :o)

Your real eyes are kind and friendly.
You've drawn the eyes a bit too cross.
Otherwise a very good drawing.:o)

Have you looked at my Winter Wellie blog lately ?
Someone has crept in, very close to the shortbread biscuits. Lol.

i wonder who that could be lol and lets hope so

Dear Leigh!

Born the same year as you, but Thank .........(whoever) I don't look a day over 35 now at the approachng end of a tunnel, LOL! (I wish!!)!.

wow thats strange dave i dont look a day over 25 odd the way life treats us isnt it lol

I think you have captured your mood quite well... a bit of moodiness in the eyes yet a knowing smirk in the mouth..saying how you really feel...Flames might take away from the real flames in your eyes there. Good job ...your putting your mood, thoughts and emotions in your work this way...you know ..you see potraits like this every so often...we are privileged here on GOY to get your feelings going along with it as you are doing this... Thanks...NP

no thank you catfinch i believe your right

ill do a blog when im done if ya want not strictly gardening

Of the process of your self portrait and your feelings as you developed it?
...An artistic gardeners mind on a blog? Perfect...

Sounds like a good blog, doesn't it Cat.
Maybe, NP, put a comment on this thread, please, when you've made the blog, so that we don't miss it. Thanks. :o)

Yes..TT...I think many of us could relate to NP's feelings and emotions. As we garden don't we feel and comfort ouselves through life...? It makes me wonder, what would our own self portraits look like over our lives in our gardens...?

Exactly, Cat ~
That's very observant of you. :o)
We can think back over different gardens where we've worked ~ the emotions and life-changes we were experiencing at those times. The pets which enjoyed each summer with us.....

I don,t believe I could face some of the emotions in my various different gardens again , I dread to think what my self portaits would be like thank you i,m staying right here .. for now ...

so yes then lol your right im a gardener thats the relevent bit you saved me lol.i wear my heart on my sleave amy .im honest to the point of rudeness.you know most people cant handle the truthe.as for the thread ill try and remember wear i left it.i got a brain like a sieve with things like that.anyway thank you you help me a lot and i value your opinion it spurs me on.im not gonna do the flames etc cat is right x

We will all help you remember..this part anyway...LOL...so looking forward to your blog ...!

cool thanx again shouldnt be long now
